With politics and is pretty conservative in their views. I think if you'd get out of your echo chambers, you'd be pleasantly surprised as to how many self described traditional conservatives refuse to vote for the current batch of R candidates and are not only considering Bernie, but are straight up stating they will vote for him. They like his consistency and honesty and anti establishment stances.

This comes from about 50 or so conservative posters.

Not a single one of them will vote for Hillary and have stated as much when they admit their support for Bernie.

We are 100% positive republicans won't vote for Hillary. Hard to say that about Bernie. They don't have the viceral hatred for him that they have for her.
